LibriVox recording of "Ten Books on Architecture" by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, translated by Morris Hicky Morgan; read by Fredrik Karlsson, proofed by Leni, and produced by Karen Merline.
On Architecture is a treatise on architecture written by the Roman architect Vitruvius and dedicated to his patron, the emperor Caesar Augustus as a guide for building projects. The work is one of the most important sources of modern knowledge of Roman building methods as well as the planning and design of structures, both large (aqueducts, buildings, baths, harbours) and small (machines, measuring devices, instruments). He is also the prime source of the famous story of Archimedes and his bath-time discovery. (Summary from Wikipedia.)

Reviewer:
Timothy Ferguson -
Subject:
A comprehensive work
It suffers a little from the audio format, as there are mathematical aspects which would be easier to comprehend with diagrams. Interesting little bits of folklore sprinkled through.
